Middle school students are invited to attend a FREE week-long camp designed to inspire an interest in a pharmacy or health sciences career. 

The one-week camp offers fun, hands-on activities and field trips that help youth experience a meaningful pharmacy and health sciences career. PharmCamp introduces youth to various health professions and helps them learn about the roles pharmacists play in clinics, community pharmacies, hospitals and other locations. 

Students will spend a week on the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy campus exploring the exciting world of pharmacy and share what they have learned with friends and family on the final day of camp.
